I'd far rather though that those things, including self harm etc, were 'publicised' in contexts such as the consequence of bullying, abuse, living with parents who're involved in domestic violence, and so forth. But any recognition, in a non-judgemental context, is better than none. I feel.

I totally agree on your point. I think that it is good that self harm is coming into the limelight, I suppose a lot of people can say how can a football team cause it, but anything can from abuse, sense of failure, to football teams losing or bands spliting up.

I suppose that with everything once it is mentioned then it will become something that is accepted, and not tutted at. But as for Stellata comment it is a valid point. As people who do not self harm may read the article and could make assumptions that it is all for attention as they do not know the root cause and why it is being done. There does need to be more attention on the reasons that start it all of.
